About this work

The painting depicts a young woman with dark hair, dressed in a black dress with a cross necklace. She is seated, with her left arm resting on a table beside her. The background is dark, and the overall mood is somber. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the 19th century. The artist's use of dark colors and shadows creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. This portrait is reminiscent of the works of artists who specialized in capturing the subtleties of human expression. You might also want to explore the collection at the National Museum in Warsaw, where this painting is held.
